1 UNIVERSITY OF ZAGREB SCHOOL OF MEDICINE Plan of the course Measurement and Analysis of Human Locomotion Academic year 20/2016

2 I. COURSE AIMS The importance of mesurements to properly assess human locomotion is increasingly recognized. Already well established as an experimental scientific research tool, human locomotion measurements are frequently a routine clinical application. Fields of application encompass both healthy and pathological locomotion encountered in kinesiology and sports science, and also in several medical fields such as: rehabilitation medicine, orthopaedics, neurology, pediatrics and sports medicine, among other. Theoretical background for biomechanical analysis of human locomotion is provided at the beginning. Macroscopic body modelling is explained, and inverse dynamic approach, being a central methodological paradigm, is introduced. Measurement methods including 3D kinematics, ground reaction kinetics and multichannel surface electromyography (semg) are then explained, as well as basics of spiroergometry. Gait, a principal locomotor pattern, is discussed. Basic clinically recognisable gait pathologies are identified. Other typical pathologies linked to the locomotor system function are identified; primarily those related to posture and eqilibrium disturbances. Computerised motion analysis laboratory setting serves for a number of clinical measurement applications and case studies. Measurement findings are interpreted in the context of the underlying physiological system (mal)function. Expert knowledge of relevant medical specialist is relied upon, and biomechanical data are combined and integrated into the comprehensive diagnosis- and clinical decision-making picture. More objective differential diagnostics of various locomotor pathologies is seeked, being applicable in rehablitation follow-up, pre-surgery planning and post-surgery evaluation, prostheses of extremities' evaluation etc. Sportive movement examples are discussed as well. The course is aimed at introducing to the medical student modern clinically oriented methods of biomechanical locomotion analysis. A multidisciplinary tailored faculty team, trained in the fields such as biomedical engineering, several medical specialties, and kinesiology demonstrates inter- and multidisciplinary nature of this rapidly developing field.
